Pros

There is no "busy-work" at Apple. Everything is done for very good reasons -- there is no wasted work. You're proud of what you do, and people you meet outside of Apple really care about what you do.

Cons

Potentially long hours. Long lines at the cafeteria? But other than that, there's no apparent downside of working at Apple.

Pros

The people that work at Apple are wonderful and it is good fun. If money or long time career aspirations aren't important then it might be a good place to work. Probably would be a good place for a college student living at home looking for some extra bucks, or retiree's that can't bring home too much for fear of upsetting the balance with Social Security.

Cons

I worked there for nearly a year and half and it is a good place to work, although if you need to raise a family it won't pay near enough. The only way to get out of the measly salary is through management and they don't have a clear path to follow if that is the direction you wish to pursue. If you move from one area to another they will not match your salary and will make you go through the interview process again. Also, they have gone from an easy going educational sort of salesperson to the entire concentration being on making your numbers (solutions). If you don't make your numbers (selling the ad on's) then you won't be promoted to full time and you will be subject to pressure from the bosses to sell, sell, sell those solutions! Even when you make it to full-time the pressure is intense to sell those ad on's. It's a major competition with no real rewards for making your numbers - other than the ASM's getting bonus' on your behalf. Of course, they won't share that with the employee's. Also, you need to enjoy working weekends and nights.
